I just wish they would change their mind about Saturday’s card….
That would have been awesome to see Hendo v Ace for free..but owell…
95 is looking rather good and Maia v Sonnen is a underrated bout imo.. Even if somehow Chael wins I don’t see him facing Silva but I’ve been wrong before, if Maia wins that defenately mixes up the MW division
Yeah, what you said.

Is it just me or does the ring girl to the left of Diego look thoroughly unimpressed by his flexing?
I DON’T KNOW WHY ANY OF THEM FLEX? ITS KINDA DUMB! WE KNOW THEY ALL TRAIN, AND THEY ALEADY HAVE THEIR SHIRTS OFF IS ANYONE EVER IMPRESSED WHEN ANY ONE FLEXES ANYWAY?
ITS KINDA LIKE WHEN SOMEONE HITS THE GAS AND THEIR TIRES MAKE A SOUND! WHO CARES BRO?
Totally. It’s kinda like screaming in all caps when everyone knows you’re calmly typing at work.
This was def not a PPV card. Wondering if it was part of the plan to ensure July 4 was UFC 100. UFC 93 is also marginal.
This card is kind of lame. This should be a fight night at best, but I do believe it’s 95 just to get to 100 quicker. Also, I think it’s bs that they haven’t even “officially” released any bouts for UFC 96, yet tickets have been on sale for two weeks. I’m strongly considering going as I went to Ohio last year and it was a great time, but why would I spend the money on tickets right now if I don’t even know who I’m going to watch fight?
You would spend money on tickets right now even you don’t know who you’re going to watch because regardless its still a UFC event, and should be a night of fights worth watching. And because there are people like me who don’t have UFC events close enough to go to.
Dude I don’t know what you do for living, but last year I spent $450 on a ticket and $400 in other expenses for the trip. You factor in that I watch every pay per view, and the $800 difference in what I’m going to pay to watch the UFC is who is on the card.
You got raped on tickets and travel costs.
I bought tickets for 96 without any confirmed fights because it’s rare there’s good events close enough for me to go to and any UFC card is worth the money once a year imo.
yeah, $450 a ticket is your fault for not getting them early at normal price.
Raped? I had floor level seats towards the blue corner. I’m not complaining about the price, I’m complaining that tickets are on sale without even announcing a single bout. Would you go to a concert if you didn’t know who was playing, but you knew the type of music?
I wouldn’t buy tickets to a concert without knowing who’s playing. But this is more like buying tickets to a concert without knowing the set list I’d say. Its still your favorite band, so to speak, you just don’t know if it’s going to be your favorite songs.
Got to love the England cards… I think the biggest star to be on their cards is Diego Sanchez or Michael Bisping
You apparently didn’t see UFC 70
Or 85 with Matt Hughes, or 80 with BJ, or 75 with Rampage vs. Hendo, and CroCop v. Kongo… man those England cards don’t have any big stars on them….
haha hilarious ^^^^^^
hey wind, I’M impressed when i flex my buttcheeks, in the mirror, by myself…too much info? i agree with your commments, is what i meant to say…
